EasyGlobalizeAccessors
Introduction
Generator of easy accessor methods for models using Globalize.
Use globalize_accessors with list of translated fields you want easily access to and extra :locales array listing locales for which you want the accessors to be generated.
This way a single form can be used to edit given model fields with all anticipated translations.
Installation
gem install easy_globalize_accessors
Example
Definition like this:
class Product
translates :title, :description
globalize_accessors :locales => [:en, :pl], :attributes => [:title]
end
Gives you access to methods: title_pl, title_en, title_pl=, title_en= (and similar set of description_* methods). And they work seamlessly with Globalize (not even touching the “core” title, title= methods used by Globalize itself).
:locales and :attributes are optional. Default values are:
:locales => I18n.available_locales
:attributes => translated_attribute_names
which means that skipping all options will generate you accessor method for all translated fields and available languages.
You can also get locales for class with “globalize_locales” method:
Product.globalize_locales # => [:en, :pl]
Always define accessors
If you wish to always define accessors and don’t want to call globalize_accessors method in every class, you can extend ActiveRecord::Base with such module:
module TranslatesWithAccessors
def translates(*params)
= params.
.reverse_merge!(:globalize_accessors => true)
accessors = .delete(:globalize_accessors)
super
globalize_accessors if accessors
end
end
